I had this happen when i made my first call. But the service where I was was not the best. As of yet, I have not had another issue with it.

You got 14 days. Take it back and get a fresh one.

I think its related to the service not the device.

I get the crackle or pop every time the speaker on the back turns off and on. Like during touch sounds. Ill take it back and get another one before my exchange days are over so I get the freshest shipment of devices

I get crackles when I'm on a call using my bluetooth headset. This is bad.

I had this happen to me last night while I was on a call. I turned it into speakerphone and it stopped even when I flipped back to the headset it was gone. I am definitely going to be taking it back for a new one if this happens again.

My Bluetooth is acting funny.

Ok Sorry if this has been posted. I searched but it was from the app and i didn't see anything.
When on a call using my Bluetooth sometime's I lose the ability to hear the other person. They can still hear me though. Disconnecting and then reconnecting the ear piece fixes it for awhile. I have replicated this issue with both my lg ear piece and my Motorola ear piece. I am stock rooted. Am I missing a setting or might this be a radio thing.
Used both these ear pieces with my et4g with no issues.

My et4g use to cut out and a quick reboot always fixed it. Never really pinned down why it did this other than long up times without a reboot. Haven't had this issue on the note 2 yet.

Ya that worked for one call then it started messing up again.... if I'm on a call and it starts acting up I can toggle the headset button and it'll act right for a minute or so..... it's not just acting up this way with my headset but also my car:banghead:

Well I spoke to soon. still doing it just doesn't happen as often now. Maybe once or twice a day in stead of once or twice a call.

Do you have any bluetooth tethering apps? I noticed that since I deleted open garden and wiped almost everything... Since then it has only garbled once maybe twice today if my memory serves me right

No don't have any tethering apps at all.

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I am using a blue parrot headset.

I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...

I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Voice Echo

Everyone that calls me complains of an echo on thier end. If I go to speakerphone the issue is gone. Anyone else?

28 views and not one comment? Lol..guess it's just my phone then. Sucks because no insurance. What would anyone recommend if I'm forced to sell my Note?

Dude change your in call sound settings theres like 5 different to choose from. "Optimized for left ear", "optimized for right ear", "clear souns" n some other ones I cant remember. Also theres the noise reduction. Tweak w all of them worth a try

Thanks..definitely have been. Nothing seems to help. Doing some google searching seems like this was a pretty common error with the Note and the GS2..but it's hit or miss. There is a fix that requires taking the phone apart that I'm not willing to do. It has something to do with the noise cancellation. I've been turning it off every call now and it seems to help, but not fix the problem. Only sure fix is to use speakerphone or hands free mic. I'm just annoyed. I shouldn't have to work around anything on a 2 month old flagship phone.

you are right...you shouldn't. have you taken it in for repair or contacted Samsung?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I haven't yet..that will probably be my next step. I don't have insurance so Sprint will probably just offer to exchange it for the $35 fee.

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.
